We've all seen commercials for Crest Whitestrips and the like, but having one of those things in your mouth for the recommended time is not only uncomfortable, it's a little gross. We've been trying out the Go Smile Advanced Formula B1 ($90), and it performs well without the inconvenience of strips. Professionally formulated by Jonathan B. Levine, D.M.D., the formula comes in little portable bottles with brush-tip ends so
you can customize your whitening and do
it on the go. Plus, it'll make your teeth
between 4-10 shades whiter in just seven
days, perfect for getting your teeth in
shape before the holidays.

As a near-sighted person, this Uncrate staffer has always had a small problem with the institutional-looking contact cases that you find at the local drug store. Not a problem anymore. The Kapaclip Contact Lens Case ($7) has bright, vivid caps that help you keep track of which lens is which on those "rough" mornings, and as a bonus attaches to your contact solution bottle, keeping both items together and ready to use.

It might take you a while to use 'em all, but this Durex Condom Variety Pack ($20) could definitely come in handy. You get 48 high quality condoms, all of which are stored in a Durex metal case that will help keep your bedside drawer from looking like a hooker's purse. Oh yeah, and you also get three vibrating rings for "added pleasure." But hey, at least you can order this stuff online and not have to be embarrassed in the checkout line at Wal-Mart.

Trying out new hot sauces is easy. Finding ones that taste awesome is not. That's where Fuego Box comes in. Available as a subscription or as a gift, this service brings boxes of little-known, high-quality hot stuff right to your door, with an emphasis on flavor instead of heat. Your first shipment will include three full-sized sauces, a few samples, and a mini tasting notebook, and every one after that will arrive with three full-sized bottles. No long-term commitment is necessary, so there's even less reason not to give it a shot.

It's hard to imagine trying to improve on the Filson Cruiser. After all, it's been a Filson fixture for over 100 years. But the Filson Long Cruiser Jacket is probably the best update we can think of for this iconic piece of outerwear. Made with the same 24-oz. Mackinaw Wool and pocket design as the original, it's been extended to three-quarter length for extra warmth and protection. This version also has flannel-lined handwarmers, horn buttons, and a vented lower back opening with snap. Upper lining has also been added to the Cruiser to ensure that this classic look keeps you safe from whatever winter throws your way.

It dawned on us the other day that perhaps it's gotten a little too hot to go run outside, so if we want to keep in shape, we'd better find a way to do it inside. The NordicTrack Elite 3200 Treadmill ($2000) features NordicTrack's iFIT Workout card that helps you along with customizable workout programs and a voiced personal trainer to keep you in line, plus a 3.25 CHP Commercial DurX Motor and an 8.4" TV screen to help pass the time during your workout. Finally, we can get in a nice run from the comfort of our 68 degree office.
